Hit-run driver on wrong side of road

A driver who swerved onto the wrong side of the road hit a pedestrian then immediately drove off after telling the injured woman she needed to move her car, police say.

Police have been told the pedestrian, a woman in her 50s, was walking along Waterford Rise, Pakenham, when she was hit by a car that had crossed onto the wrong side of the road about 3.40pm on Tuesday.

The driver, a woman in her 40s with dark hair tied back, stopped but then got back in the car and drove off, saying she "had to move her car".
